Hello,
You are bidding on a very rare SEALED copy of Jeremy Steig on Solid State SS 18068 (stereo), "Legwork." from 1970.
Vintage original USA pressing vinyl assumed MINT.
Jacket is less than mint. Although SEALED it looks to have some corner wear/bending
STEIG WAS IN THE JAZZ-PSYCH GROUP JEREMY & THE SATYRS. WITH 'HOWLIN FOR JUDY,' SAMPLED BY THE BEASTIE BOYS.
This is NOT a cut-out LP, there are absolutely no cut corners, saw marks, or drill holes! And no bar code on back cover either! Review by Wilson McCloy on allmusic.com...
Legwork has long been a "rare-groove" collectors' favorite, and for good reason. The versatile Eddie Gomez lays down funky and compelling grooves throughout on acoustic bass while not hesitating to swing when necessary, walking his basslines over Don Alias' sometimes sparse yet authoritative drumming. Steig utilizes a seemingly endless array of flute techniques, soaring above and interacting with the rhythm section. On several tracks he uses overdubbing effectively, calling and responding to his own lines. The whole album is truly eclectic, spanning funk, exotic ostinatos, blues, Miles Davis' "Nardis," and freer excursions. "Howlin' for Judy" was sampled on the Beastie Boys' 1994 album Ill Communication, and Legwork remains one of the high points of Steig's recorded work.
You can catch a clip of Howlin' which the Beasties used for Sure Shot here...
